Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Pontefract New College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the 'strong pass' grades required for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique, coursework, and filling any knowledge gaps to give your child the best possible chance of success.
We live in South Elmsall. Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in local schools?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for England. They are well-versed in the specific requirements of exam boards like AQA and Edexcel, which are commonly used in schools across the Wakefield district, ensuring the tutoring directly supports what your child is learning in class.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding a great personality match for your child.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically start from £15 an hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. Thanks to our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps your child see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief in the classroom.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. Consistency is key, and many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for music, languages, coding, and a wide range of other skills and hobbies.
Can a tutor help with a specific part of the English curriculum, like Shakespeare?
Yes, definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that it can be completely tailored. If your child is struggling to understand 'Romeo and Juliet' or needs to refine their creative writing skills, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to that specific area.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We have a simple 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without any charge. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
